"The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed," writes Garrett Graff for his Doomsday Scenario newsletter. He chronicles why he feels that today, August 25, 2025, is a date to remember. "Everything else from here on out is just a matter of degree and wondering how bad it will get and how far it will go," he writes. "Do we end up 'merely' like Hungary or do we go all the way toward an 'American Reich'? So far, after years of studying World War II, I fear that America’s trajectory feels more like Berlin circa 1933 than it does Budapest circa 2015."
